Please look at this page, https://www.facebook.com/thisisrealitalytoday , it is news in english of the protest "Italy Stops" that has been going on since 9th Dec. The italian population means business and the Gov. has backed atleast twice now. Please remember that the italian government is illegal, it is not elected by the people. Same as the Monti government that had to pack their bags, but Monti made himself a senator fast and italian tax payers has to pay him a golden salary for the rest of his life....he not doing a damn shit! Italian politicians paychecks are the highest in the world, 29,000 - 100,000 €/month plus benefits.

In Sicily, like in most parts of Italy, the protests are on going and getting more and new ways. In Sicily protesters are hanging underwear all over the cities and throwing underwear on the leading politicians saying that this is what is left of your taxes, you have left us in our underwear! The protests seems to escalate in Italy and on official buildings you can read on the facades All you go home!, a message to politicians to pack their bags and go home! Some rumours and pictures are spreading on social neworks that a big tractor caravan is heading Rome. Below photoes from the underwear protest in Sicily.

The situation in Torino has calmed down but now the protest has covered almost all Italy. Protesters even blocked the road to France for two hours. Berlusconi is back, Letta got somehow voted for more trust, and Alfanos threats seems to be worthless. In media everything is written as Forconi protest, but on the streets people are not talking about Forconi, they talk about the italian population; women, men and children.

I have not written so much about Forconi, because it is still not clear who are behind this. It is not sicilian agriculture.

If you like to find more information about the national protest, please search on Google and Youtube with keywords: Protest, 9 December 2013, Forconi - then Italy, Italia or/ and the name of specific city or region.

Italy has started to boil and the center is in Torino where the protests has escalated and also got violent. Italians had enough now. It is though good that they did not block all the roads as the damage would only effect the italians themselves. The italian transport organisation has a political meeting this week, with Berlusconi, and Alfano was on TV last night warning the italians that the police will protect official buildings, but then on TV they showed many clips where the police has took off their helmets for solidarity and did not stop the protesters.

So is this a protest or a revolution seems to be seen. Logistics is rolling anyway, have not yet heard of any disturbing elements from the producers as we have goods going these days to north Europe from Sicily.

So today should have started a national transport strike, but no one knows it the strike has started or not. Waiting for an answer as we have good on the road. Some cities has banned the Forconi strike because they create just damage for producers and consumers. No one goes to Rome with the message.
